关于110 West Album
对一般不懂Jazz的人来说，爵士乐是很艰深难懂的。
一般人喜欢爵士乐，往往是喜欢Jazz带来的氛围、音乐本身的属性，亦或乐手技术层面的表现、和声运用与即兴演奏的能力，但其实对职业乐手以外的人来说，很难真正了解爵士乐手本身想表达音乐的方式。
而流行音乐之所以平易近人，是因为弦律简单易懂加上有歌手诠释，有一定的记忆点，容易模仿并琅琅上口；相较之下，爵士音乐较有深度的调性就显得曲高和寡，但其创造的历史存在价值却不容忽视。为了带给更多人有质感的好音乐，也让惯听流行音乐的族群懂得享受爵士乐，这张专辑刻意将Jazz与和声技巧做适当结合，融入了流行性的节奏，让Jazz不再显得艰深难懂。
这张专辑运用了很多的Poly Chord（复合式和弦），这种方式大部分出现在EURO EDM（欧洲电音），较少出现在流行音乐或是爵士乐里面，专辑中的Banana一曲就大量运用了这些和声元素和节奏，以一种平易近人的Jazz乐型态呈现，却又不失爵士演奏专辑该有的深度。而Nostalgic Memory(思慕的人)一曲，这首经典名曲在台湾有将近50几年的历史，取用大胆的Bebop 风格与和弦，展现另类的台湾五声音阶(Pentatonic)再配上大胆的和弦，打破一般人对台湾老歌的既定印象。
真的很感谢几位亚洲顶尖乐手情义相挺，作品才得以问世。整张专辑Jazz/Smooth Jazz/Funk曲风，以简单易懂的弦律、编曲搭配西方的节奏Grooving与和弦Chord作为专辑取向，巧妙融合艰深难懂的Jazz乐与流行音乐，整张专辑集合了东南亚和美国的顶尖的乐手，在台湾可说是首张结合国内外一线乐手的Jazz专辑。
About 110 West Album
This is a Jazz album for all listeners to enjoy. It contains some pop into jazz, yet the music does not lose the technique and grooving of jazz.
Many people say jazz is difficult to understand. Why pop music is such a popular genre of music? It is because of its simplicity. It does not have lot of complicated chords, and listeners can easily recognize the melody. On the other hand, jazz music has more depth in technique and chord progressions which can be complicated.
This album uses several Poly Chords, which are often used in European EDM and less used in pop or jazz. Many harmonic elements and grooving are being used in the track “Banana”. Track of “Nostalgic Memory” is a cover of a legendary Taiwanese 1950’s song that has many years of history. It combines Bebop Style and Pentatonic that completely break away the image of traditional style into a whole new perspective.
This album has Jazz / Smooth Jazz / Funk style.
I hope you will enjoy.
